Camera for videotaping hunt

[WesternWisconsin]

Hi. I'm going to the Wrangler Mountains in September. I'd like to buy a nice video camera to record my hunt for my kids. I'll use it for other things as well, i.e. whitetail hunting. I like the idea of a high-quality camera with good video capability and a high-power zoom. I also would like the camera to be fairly light weight since we'll be flying in on a cub plane weight is going to be very important. Recommendations?
